Hear Matt Costa on New Music Thursday with Gabby Parsons
Costa took a new direction on Mobile Chateau via his 1960's psychadelic rock inspiration. The new album is inspired by the sounds of rockers such as The Zombies, The Electric Prunes, Donovan, 13th Floor Elevators as well as the West Coast Pop Art Experiment Band. As Costa says, "I've been hearing songs like these in my head for my whole life and Mobile Chateau is the closest I've gotten to getting those songs out of my head and onto a record."
If you want a sample of Costa's new work, check out the video for his song "Witchcraft." The 60s vibe of the video is quite fitting.
Be sure to check out Matt Costa at the High Noon Saloon on October 26th. For more information and tickets, click here.
